We will be merging into an openstack git repository once we have the list of tests approved.  This google doc is for getting to the point of having a proposal of what capabilities and tests to include.  Work on this happens every Wednesday and Van is heading up the effort (I think it’s noon PST, but don’t quote me and I don’t know what happens timewise after Sunday)

Also, the current defcore json files will move from Refstack into their own Defcore repository shortly.  I think the patches have already been submitted to make the new project and migrate them.

Rocky, thanks for the google doc link.. but for other releases the json file has been merged in to a github repository (i.e. refstack). Or are we not doing that any more?

Take a look at the last defcore.scale etherpad.  There are links to google docs….  I think it’s:

Does anyone happen to know where the 2015.3 json spec exists repo wise? Does not seem to be in the refstack repo.

Thanks,
Justin Shepherd

That's outstanding. I'm glad to join in time to congratulate y'all on the achievement, and to help with the next one.

By chance, is anyone here headed to the operators mid cycle next Mon/Tue? Would love to meet up if possible.

DefCore!  We made great progress w/ the Board this week!   Thanks everyone for the hard work and support.

Following the strategic planning discussions, Rob Hirschfeld gave an update from the DefCore committee and presented a slate of capabilities for the Board to approve as the official “2015.3” specification. The Board approved the proposed DefCore committee process and slate of capabilities for "OpenStack Powered” products. This was a huge milestone for the DefCore efforts, and enables the Foundation staff to now implement the new license agreements and product testing program when the bylaws changes go into effect at the end of March. If you are responsible for an OpenStack Powered product or service within your company, we will be reaching out to help you adopt the new licensing programs. A very big thank you to Rob Hirschfeld and the DefCore committee who worked hard to make quick progress over the past couple of months.

Hi everyone,

On Tuesday, the Board of Directors held a face-to-face meeting in chilly New York City. We had 19 of 24 directors in person, and three participated on the phone throughout.

The primary objective of this meeting was to engage in some strategic planning with the Board. Mark Collier kicked off the meeting by providing some context about the state of OpenStack and relevant emerging market trends. The Board members then broke into four small groups to dive into 4 areas: (1) Network Functions Virtualization / Internet of Things, (2) containers / developer productivity and tools, (3) public & hybrid clouds and (4) coordinating efforts across projects and companies within OpenStack, including the new product manager community working group. There was a lot of discussion about how we can better engage with other industry groups and open source technologies, the importance of continuing to attract developers to OpenStack, and how we can become more strategic with our contributions. The Directors spent time within their small groups and then presented their thoughts for discussion to the full Board after lunch. Coming out of the meeting the Foundation staff an
d
Directors will turn this input into actions that can be incorporated into 2015 plans, as well as longer-term initiatives.

Following the strategic planning discussions, Rob Hirschfeld gave an update from the DefCore committee and presented a slate of capabilities for the Board to approve as the official “2015.3” specification. The Board approved the proposed DefCore committee process and slate of capabilities for "OpenStack Powered” products. This was a huge milestone for the DefCore efforts, and enables the Foundation staff to now implement the new license agreements and product testing program when the bylaws changes go into effect at the end of March. If you are responsible for an OpenStack Powered product or service within your company, we will be reaching out to help you adopt the new licensing programs. A very big thank you to Rob Hirschfeld and the DefCore committee who worked hard to make quick progress over the past couple of months.

Finally, the Board wrapped up with an hour-long discussion about transparency and diversity. Discussion points included implementing better mailing list procedures, potential changes to the Transparency Policy and how Board Members can better engage with and support all of our global communities. Sean Roberts is picking up the Transparency Committee work, which will convene in the next few weeks to follow up on the discussion with more concrete recommendations and actions on that front. Also, Robert Esker started a thread on this list to discuss potential updates to the Transparency Policy.

After the meeting many of the participants trekked across a wet and snowy NYC to continue discussions over dinner. It was really energizing to see how far the community has come in five years and consider the opportunities for OpenStack over the next five. I appreciate the enthusiasm and engagement from the Board on all of these important topics. Thanks to everyone who participated in person and remotely!

Thanks,
Jonathan
